There was a great vibe among the crowd today as the best extreme skiers in the world took to the Super Pipe launching over 20 feet in the air soaring above the crowds! The excitement built as the competitors turned it up and went bigger to impress the judges and get scores needed to get on the podium. If that wasn’t enough the energy built even more as snow started to fall!

We stayed at the River Mountain Lodge for two nights before our visit of the Grand Lodge on Peak 7.

We had a wonderful relaxing weekend. We can’t wait to come back up for another visit. Everyone was so incredibly nice.

My son asked his girlfriend to marry him. He had her best friends and their boyfriends there with them. The girls were outside by chairlift holding signs that read diamonds are forever. He came out on the balcony on one knee and proposed and had a photographer taking pictures the whole time then back up to his room for champagne and food then that night to relish and enjoy a red velvet cake from Clyde’s . He will be going back and they will get married at Breckenridge.:)
